How to Overcome Burnout and Make Aligned Decisions (Without the Hustle) with Ramona Crabtree-Falkner

The Journey of Becoming — Ep. 1 with Ramona Crabtree-Falkner

Burnout recovery, women’s leadership, executive coaching, authenticity, mindfulness, alignment.

In this episode, Karrie sits down with Ramona Crabtree-Falkner, founder of Authentic Life Journey, to explore how high-achieving women can move through burnout, overwhelm, and self-doubt by reconnecting with their authentic selves. Ramona shares two turning points—thyroid surgery in 2012 and a solo retreat to Greece—that led her to shift from “hustle” to heart-aligned leadership. You’ll hear practical tools for making aligned decisions, raising awareness (and frequency), and meeting fear with presence, journaling, and clarity.

What you’ll learn

• The “four bodies” (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical) and why misalignment shows up in the body
• Active vs. passive manifestation and how awareness sets your frequency
• A simple decision framework: get quiet → listen to intuition → choose alignment
• How to greet fear (not fight it): externalize it on paper and choose your next aligned step
• Why the “messy middle” is where the magic and momentum live
